Spring Yard Care - 20 Things To Do Right Now!

Spring is finally here and if you're as anxious as I am to go outside and start prettying up your yard for the beautiful seasons ahead of us, well let me tell you, this is the perfect time to do it.

We had a couple of warm days this past week and the mister was full speed ahead with his favorite tools starting the clean up and care of our yard.

After a though winter, there are many things we need to do to bring the yard back to life and I've compiled a list of 20 things to do right now and during the following months to establish a lush and healthy yard you can enjoy all year long.

Use a blower to quickly blow away leaves and debris from your lawn. You can also rake away or dethatch your lawn to remove debris that harvest pests and disease. Early Spring is the best time to do a light removal of thatch.

If your turf isn't looking good or if you have noticed water having difficulty penetrating through the soil surface, it might be the time to aerate your lawn.
You can use aeration shoes, a stiff rake or if you have a large lawn, a rented gas-powered aeration tool to do this job. Water and nutrients will be better absorbed after you aerate your lawn.

7. Add topsoil to low spots

Accumulation of snow might have created low spots on your lawn. Fill them up with soil, re-seed or add sod.
